VA3264

CSA #11a (AD) Milky Blue (4-Margin) tied by a bold strike of the Culpeper CH, Va CDS 11 AUG. Addressed to Mrs. Catherine Small, Harrington PO, Harnett Cty, N. Carolina. Very clean cover. According to the 1860 Federal Census, Catherine Small (b1799) of Harnett County, North Carolina, had a son, Malcom Small (b1840) who enlisted as a private in Co A 5th NC Cav 7/2/1862. The 5th NC Cav was an ANV unit. Pvt Small could very well have sent this cover from Virginia home to his mother. Pvt Small is listed as wounded in the right knee (place and time not given) but he was hospitalized in Richmond 8/17/1864 during the early phases of the Siege of Petersburg. He was furloughed in September 1864 with no further record. But in the later Federal Censuses after the war, he had returned to Harnett County and continued farming.
